Only a block from Macrossan Street, this small and friendly hotel has all you need for a totally relaxing,self catering holiday. Lovely pool with barbecue for you to cook your steak or barramundi. The laundry room was an unexpected boon after a couple of weeks' travel. We met other guests from USA and Melbourne and all of us were very... More

My wife & I have stayed here a couple of times now and can honestly recommend it to anyone who appreciates good value. The bedrooms are well appointed, clean & comfortable, with large en-suite shower rooms. Being just 2 blokes back from Macrossan Street is a great location. It gives you the feeling that everything is on your doorstep, but... More

Our first time to Port Douglas and we loved it. Port Douglas Retreat was in a great location only a block to the beach and a block to the shops! We bought our own food and cooked in our little kitchenette. They were very helpful with our tours and welcomed us warmly. It is a great place for couples and... More

I stayed here for 5 nights in October. The locations is great. Only a three minute walk to the main street (which had so much to offer when it came to restaurants, shops,cafes, supermarket etc). The owners David and joyce were always super friendly and helpful. They offered great advice on activities and amenities in the local area. It would... More

Port Douglas, Australia. The grounds and pool area are beautiful and meticulously kept. There is garage parking, which is very nice. About the room: There is no room service provided, and if we wanted clean towels/washclothes, we either had to pay an extra A$2 each, or wash them ourselves in the one working washing machine. With our busy schedule, we... More

We are happy that more of our guests enjoyed their holidays with us. Port Douglas Retreat is a beautiful place to stay as our guests have commented. Our apartments are all self-serviced apartments. We are very different to 5 star luxury hotels, that maybe some guests are used to. This maybe the first time for our guests to stay in... More

We stayed here for 3 nights prior to staying at another establishment which was 5 star apartments. We both agreed while this retreat was not as luxurious as our first place it was by far more relaxing and friendly. I liked the casual feeling and location, only a short walk to the main street. The room we stayed in (number... More

David and Joyce are helpful and knowledgeable about the local trips and tours, and nothing was too much trouble. If you come into Cairns on a late night flight there are shuttles available if you haven't pre-booked, but to make it less tiring next time we would stay in Cairns, pick up a rental car the next day and drive...

Location is quite good & it's cheap. If those are your basis prerequisites, you should be ok with this place. But just be aware that there are dozens of other properties in the same area which are around the same price but another notch higher in service and quality.

I think my title says it all. Nice accommodation, own kitchen and shared BBQ. Right on Port Douglas' main strip. Nice staff. And for the price! You really couldn't beat it. If you want to be waited on hand and foot then you should go somewhere else. Ray
